There are so many different exercises available for the chest workout. But you can not spend a whole day on more than 30 chest exercises. We have listed important chest exercises with dumbbells which help to gain more muscle mass and muscle definition. These exercises are a combination of compound and isolation exercises. The chest is a big muscle of our Upper body. It is also known as Thorax. It is divided into three parts. An Upper Chest (the clavicular), the middle chest (sternocostal) and the lower chest (abdominal head). The middle and lower parts collectively make the lower chest part.
For a beginner, I suggest doing 3 compound exercises to build muscle mass ( do 4 sets for each exercise 8-12 reps if your goal is muscle build) and 2 isolation exercises to keep the blood flow in muscle. You can do exercises with different angles to put more stress on the upper and lower chest.
